I'd no intention of arguing so said to him "just you go ahead". Then he started making an issue again inside the store. Should have said that first time then. I'm willing to bet what team he supports 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Following government instructions on how to help prevent killing vulnerable people is all well and good, until it's slightly inconvenient, then they can get fucked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old boy and his wife cut in front of me in the queue, then said "sorry son, you squeeze past". When I pointed out I had no intention of 'squeezing' past he got all uppity and said I was making a fuss about nothing. I told him just to go ahead as I wasn't interested in arguing. Ran into him again in the shop a few aisles later and him and his wife are both standing in the middle of the aisle looking at the shelves. He saw me wait and said "you'll be waiting a while, I'll be here for a good few minutes". I asked him politely to stand to the side with his wife so I could get past and he started shouting at me and walking closer, saying "I'll fucking come close to you". His wife ushered him away saying "leave it, he's just an arsehole". Some absolute weapons. What annoys me is the auld yins who'll take ages picking fruit and veg, examining every item on the shelves till they get the right bag of apples or carrots and ignoring the queue behind them. One of these days my patience will snap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coronavirus can’t involve coughing as flu also involves coughing sometimes and coronavirus cannot be anything like flu. It simply cannot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it the single shopper only policy has fallen by the wayside. It definitely has in Inverness. I'm not sure it ever existed here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting annoyed about having to walk within 2m of someone to pick up something that other people have already touched / potentially coughed on anyway etc is wild behaviour. You can wash your hands easily enough, not much you can do about someone coughing in your face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 My exact words were "I don't want to squeeze past you". That's it. That's when he started getting shirty. I'd no intention of arguing so said to him "just you go ahead". The queues at Tesco are made from metal barriers. I was walking up the queue and he pulled two barriers apart and squeeze through to get ahead of me. Then he started making an issue again inside the store.The tone of the comments is the key factor in this exchange.There's a way to do things, and then there's coming across as a dick.I don't have enough information to make a call either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 The thing that gets me about these stories are the quickness of people to anger and aggression - swearing and abusing people at the drop of a hat seems completely alien to me. People are obviously going to be more on edge at the moment but it's somethign that continually suprirses me. I've had colleagues almost boast about getting into road rage fights and arguments, it just seems bizarre to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
